Chapter 311 - Xian Guiying’s Secret Was Finally Revealed IV (1/2)
Qin Gengxin frowned. He only froze for a moment before turning around and quickly chased after her.
Jiang Ruolan followed the crowd and rushed to the door. ”Guiying!”
However, just as she rushed to the door and reached the staircase, Xian Guiying had already run down the stairs. Qin Gengxin suddenly stopped and grabbed Jiang Ruolan's hand before she could follow after Xian Guiying
Jiang Ruolan was shocked and looked at him blankly.
Xian Zihao who was following behind quickly frowned. ”Gengxin? What are you doing?”
They were after all in Xian Residence. Old Man Xian didn't know that Jiang Ruolan and Qin Gengxin were childhood sweethearts. The Old Man had just fallen in love with Jiang Ruolan, so any bad things that would affect this relationship could not have happened at all.
”Qin Gengxin.” Jiang Ruolan looked at him with a stiff expression. Qin Gengxin's eyes were already faintly bloodshot and filled with countless emotions. He firmly held her hand, and coldly looked at her.
”You already knew, didn't you?”
Qin Gengxin asked in a cold voice. His cold eyes stared straight at her.
Jiang Ruolan was dumbfounded. She merely raised her head and looked at the hate that was seemingly dense within his eyes. She opened her mouth but was unable to say a word. ”I …”
”As expected.” Qin Gengxin sneered and harshly shook off her hand.
He turned around and ran down the stairs.
When he flung her off, he exerted a tremendous amount of strength, as if he was filled with resentment that could not be expressed anywhere. Jiang Ruolan's body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.
For a split-second, Jiang Ruolan suddenly realized that she didn't know what to do. She couldn't help but turn around to look at Xian Zihao. ”Zihao.”
Xian Zihao gently patted her hand as though he was comforting her. With half an arm around her shoulders, he gently embraced her, giving her courage and comfort.
Xian Zihao really knew Jiang Ruolan very well, and he also understood her regret for hiding this secret from Qin Gengxin. Even though their relationship was unilateral and she didn't owe Qin Gengxin anything, her heart still filled with guilt.
”What exactly is going on? Zihao, Qin Gengxin and Guiying had always been in Boston, so when would they get together?”
The Old Man walked out. At the same time, his gaze landed on Jiang Ruolan. ”Qin Gengxin just pointed at you, what does he mean by that?”
When the Old Man looked at Jiang Ruolan seriously, Xian Zihao held her tightly in his arms, ”The Qin Family is in the same city as the Jiang Family. Ruolan and Qin Gengxin have known each other since they were young, and just like me, they are pretty close friends.”
The Old Man obviously wanted to ask more, but he was interrupted by Zhan An's figure, chasing after Xian Guiying. He again looked at Jiang Ruolan and saw that even though her eyes were full of worry, she was very magnanimous.
Only after the Old Man and Xian Jian left with a cold expression as if someone had owed them tens of millions, Jiang Ruolan heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Xian Zihao and said, ”Although my relationship with Qin Gengxin is fine, things have gotten complicated when it comes to Guiying. If grandpa knew that Qin Gengxin and I were a little too close, things would probably get out of hand.”
”I know!”
Xian Zihao knew, he always knew.
In the Xian Family, Xian Zihao would always consider her a little more, and would not let her suffer any humiliation or harm or any suspicion or grievance.
”Grandfather is only angry and sensitive to everything. It's just a question, don't be afraid.” Xian Zihao's voice was gentle as he patted her shoulder to comfort her.
